Football and Tony's Pizza [+ Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Ball Recipe!]

One thing I figured out pretty quickly when I first moved to Oklahoma was that football is a big deal. But not just any football: college and high school football, which makes sense because we don't have a professional football team here. (Although I still do root for my Chicago Bears! One day they will be good again).

Jordan played football in high school, and his claim to fame is a 5-second clip with a mention of his name on the local news channel after he blocked a punt. His parents have it recorded, and at his 30th birthday party two years ago, we played it for the partygoers and it was a big hit. I'm interested to see if J wants to play football like his dad!
#shopOne dish that always pairs well with football is pizza. I picked up a Tony's® Pizzeria Style Pepperoni Pizza and Tony's® Pizzeria Style MEAT-TRIO® Pizza at our local Homeland store.

Tony's Pizza has been serving authentic pizzeria style pizza for over 50 years. The sauce is made from real tomatoes, and the cheese is 100% real mozzarella cheese. Jordan and I both agree that pepperoni is our favorite topping to have on a pizza, and R loves it too.
#shopOf course, when you have a watch party or have people over for pre-game, you need to have some sides and desserts. My college roommate introduced me to this recipe for a chocolate chip cream cheese ball, and I've been making it for parties ever since! It's always a huge hit and so easy to make. It's the perfect something sweet to go with a savory pizza

  1. I love sausage or plain margherita pizza! The Bears will be good one day (hopefully) soon!

  2. I don't think I've had a Tony's pizza since my college days. They were good, though! In general we love to make homemade pizza, but we definitely have had frozen pizzas a couple of times on Friday nights since Little Bit arrived. Hello this season of life. ;)

    Oh, and my favorite pizza toppings... either a veggie pizza with ALL THE VEGGIES (because I love them all) or a margherita pizza. Yum!

  3. Mmmm, that chocolate chip cream cheese ball sounds amazing!
    I'm not a huge pizza lover (gasp, I know!), but I do like cheese, sausage, and mushroom!

  5. That chocolate chip cream cheese dip looks so good!!! I am a total pizza snob. I like to make my own flat breads at home. Pepperoni is my favorite topping too! Well, I also really love pineapple.
